Scientists Reveal How a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

[@masonshepherd5260]

So basically what I gathered is that “zombies” in the way they are portrayed in media mediums like movies and video games aren’t particularly physically plausible. But human beings being in a “zombie-like” state where our Brain functions aren’t like normal human beings technically is possible..that makes sense.

[@Factsfrommyass]

[@masonshepherd5260]

[@Prince0fm0rbid]

Actually a dawn of the dead/walking dead type virus has been theorised and concluded as plausible. But don’t worry…… a few hours after a walker gets back up, rigor Mortus kicks in and a zombie becomes a meat statue. After 3-7 days their eyes will have rotted from their sockets. If the virus can bypass those issues, then a zombie will only chase you for 2-3 weeks or a couple months before it becomes a pile of bones. Even movie zombies aren’t as bad as you’d think

Prion

[@give_korn6189]

@@joshhensley2396 It is called Prion, hence PRotein infectION. Yes, it’s a misfolded protein, which causes other proteins in the brain to change and connect with each other forming large structures, that disrupt the neural network. It is very unlikely, that will cause a zombie outbreak. Let me give you some aspects: 1. It can only spread through body fluids or infected meat. Unless you have a direct blood transfusion of an infected person or eat raw and undercooked meat like beef, you will not be able to contract prions. The other way to get it, is by a mutation in your DNA, precisely that gene which encodes that kind of protein or by some errors and misfolds in the process of producing it. Yes, the human brain naturally produces these proteins. They only become dangerous in their misfolded version. 2. Since it is not a living being and does not contain DNA or any other information, it is not possible to mutate. No matter how often it spreads and infects people, it is limited to its form. 3. The fatality rate is near 100%. Such a lethal pathogen has no chance at spreading further, killing off its host, making it impossible to cause a zombie outbreak. There is no documented case of an infectant infecting another person. 4. The symptoms are not zombie-like. Prions disrupt any kind of brain functionality, which can lead to memory loss, immobility and change in personality, as in, loss in emotional responses or cognitive functions. It is not known to modify one’s behavior to these extents. So to wrap it up, Prions should be our least concern for an outbreak. Although it is very lethal and scary, it does not pose a threat to the whole humanity. A more potential pathogen to cause an apocalypse would be a modified virus.

That’s how chem and bio weapons are created. That’s currently illegal under international law, but countries still do research into it. Likely to find counters and cures for weapons of that type. While this happens, a zombie virus could be accidentally created. It is also possible that, while making cures for diseases, a zombie virus could be created.

I remember reading that back in 2017 Brown University was working on a bio-inhancement serum that could, in theory, boost our natural predatory instincts as well as increase the speed and strength in humans. In its first stage of biological testing it was tested on mice before the POSSIBILITY of human trials were considered, after a couple of hours of the feeding of this serum to the mice it was obvious they were experiencing the desired affects of the serum becoming faster and stronger but as one of the first side effects was an increase in hostility. After a couple of more hours the mice was found dead. They concluded that it would not be safe for human trials. When a lab technician was preparing to dispose of the bodies of the mice they noticed movement from a couple of the mice. They got the lead scientist to have a look and he found that although their hearts had stopped beating the mice still had the capacity in their brain to move their bodies. When LIVING mice was introduced to these seemingly undead mice, they were attacked by the "Zombie Mice" and were subsequently killed. It was interesting because these dead mice didn't attack other mice who had the same serum. One of the technicians swore she saw one of the previous "living mice" start moving after death. In the end the programme was shut down by the F.B.I AND also the C.I.A interestingly enough.

The fact that the idea of zombies was created makes zombies possible. Somebody may purposely try to create a virus that creates zombies for both other reason then to create a movie like apocalypse.

[@therealelectromagneticwave]

I actually dreamt that zombies are real last night. The dream is so realistic that i even had a close conversation with my parents which we discussed the plans to survive the apocalypse. It's like a RE themed dream and i can move everywhere i want to. I almost died once trying to compromise my old house which we left a day ago because we went to look for food. Back to what I'm saying, i went back to my house which is surrounded by other houses and trees which at night, i can barely see anything due to the small spaces between establishments. There were a lot of frickinngg zombies and most of them would jump in front you and drag your feet. It's really a mind boggling experience especially with my family, country, and friends included. It took me 3 dream days to survive the whole thing and i met some good people that saved me from the highway hotel which is where we stayed when we tried to get groceries after the infection was announced. If a zombie apocalypse actually happened, it shouldn't be airborne and the humans will win at the end. Though, it will take billions of lives.

The thing that stops cordyceps from infecting humans is our body temperature. We're much too warm for it to propagate. However, the thing that could change all that is increasing global temperatures. Specifically in teo ways. 1. A temperature increase can help the fungi evolve to withstand higher temperatures. 2. An increase in global temperature means humans will likely evolve to have a lower body temperature to compensate. Its basically a 1, 2 punch. Combine the fungus with rabies or kuru, and you have an aggressive person that has the drive to spread both.

[@whitehorsemilitia]

I have a video game idea where a zombie apocalypse happens but the real question is what will actually cause it. If we take Zombies serious, the military will suppress a zombie outbreak before it becomes a pandemic apocalypse. Me personally I believe a Zombie apocalypse can happen because of one reason: Media. Because we all hold the perception that Zombies are make believe, a work of fiction, the moment someone tries to report a zombie to the authorities, it will be dismissed as a prank call and by the time any government can respond and realise the calls were real, it's too late.

[@TrendyBanana]

I see the comments saying the exact thing I was thinking but I have a twist to it. This is a very very long stretch but what if Rabies and the Plague(Black Death) mutated together. A rabies that affects humans the same way as it affects animals may be possible if the virus decides to choose humans as a target. One problem is that the Black death is a bacteria and Rabies are a virus. Also the Black Death make your skin peel and boils and stuff a lot like zombies.

That could be such a cool zombie movie. Nanobot laced, self-replicating virus that eventually break down the host body until it is composed entirely of nanobots, bites or scratches result in transferring nanobots into infected area and they spread like a typical zombie virus. It could literally be a futuristic spin on the typical zombie formula. That could even be the cool twist that the zombie genre needs. you could have the same gory visuals and show people getting ripped apart and stuff (it would make sense, the more of the host body you consume or tear off, the more nanobots you can infect them with quicker) but you would also have new settings, characters, motivations for potential outbreaks, that would even make a sick Black Mirror episode.

The virus would simply need to erase all memories of an individual so they are morally impaired along with their judgement. Then they would have to have extreme aggression and be incredibly hostile. Bonus points if the virus controls the brain using the before-mentioned variables and makes it so that the host is focused solely on spreading and reproduction; like an actual virus. That coupled with a contagious bite and boom you have a “zombie.” I do believe this entirely possible to engineer if we truly wanted to. We could isolate aspects of certain viruses that create these characteristics and even amplify them; or use drugs to get the desired result. So could we manufacture a T-Virus type of virus. Yes I think so. But why would we and what would it’s application or benefit be? Nothing. Even from a financial standpoint for big corporations like Umbrella. So it will never exist thankfully.

[@legacyof7]

I think it will happen, and those guys behind Covid have most likely already begun or even finished the trials and production of a virus like that. A lot of those billionaires believe the planet will struggle to sustain the human race once the population exceeds 8 billion, supposedly, so they are trying to reduce the human population quickly to reverse this. They have the money and power to do this but they are trying to do it discreetly. First it was Covid, then the invasion in Ukraine they most likely hoped would turn into WWIII, which it hasn't yet thankfully, then this will most likely be a last resort. We are likely to hit that 8 billion mark this year or next so they are running out of time. I believe they will all have their hideouts planned for when the outbreak occurs and let the virus run it's course, then when the majority of the human race has become zombified they will most likely nuke the densely populated areas. But this is just my opinion on it, i'm sure many people think this is farfetched

[@DJVibeDubstep]

You should’ve mentioned rabies. Rabies is very similar to how zombies are portrayed. First, the individual begins to lose motor response signals from the brain, as it’s slowly taken over by the disease. Then, before death, an untreated human becomes 100% brain dead, yet they are still alive, however, they are rabid. Meaning, they want to and will try to bite/take bites out of other human beings, while foaming at the mouth, thus transferring the disease. There is a great video and documentary on Rabies on KZbin.

Problems with the dead rising and walking and eating humans are these. Zombies as shown in popular fiction can likely eat but they couldn’t digest and rid of waste… unless their stomachs and intestines are ripped out and the flesh they eat just passes through their bodies and fall to the ground. Secondly and most importantly anything “dead” will always rot. Rigor mortis sets in and then bloating and eventually everything holding the body together would just fall apart after six to eight weeks.
